Bellum ex altera parte: Social Status, Gender and Ethnicity in Ancient Warfare
21st UNISA Classics Colloquium

From Rajiv Bhola

We are pleased to announce our first call for papers, inviting abstracts for the annual Unisa Classics Colloquium, to be held in Pretoria, South Africa, from 15 to 18 October 2020.

Ancient artists and writers focused heavily on the role of elite male citizens in their representations of warfare in the ancient world, and this was for the most part also the focus of scholarship on warfare up to the mid-20th century. But an interest in ideologically excluded groups, often called the 'other' or the 'subaltern' in scholarship, gained ground in the second half of the 20th century, and in the last decade or two the subject of war itself is now being examined for information on groups that were not at the top of the social hierarchy (although from the 8th century BC to the 5th century CE the composition of these groups was certainly subject to fluctuation). Our theme this year therefore focuses on those who populated these categories within the context of warfare in the ancient world.

A wide variety of ancient source material reveals perspectives on - but also experiences of - those social, sexual or ethnic groups who have left little or no record of their experience in war and certainly therefore appear to have had no voice in the actual events. For the voices of the sub-elites, of non-males, and of non-Greeks and non-Romans in the arena of war, we therefore encourage papers which examine not only literary works of antiquity, but also documentary sources and material culture to flesh out these perspectives. The aim is to examine not only the perception of these groups who were exploited or victimised, but to expose the reality in that they may have also been the agents of not only military events but also therefore influence the subsequent narrative of various episodes in antiquity.

The conference theme thus hopes to offer plenty of areas for fruitful exploration, of which the following topics are but a sample:

• Experiences of other ethnic groups fighting against, and for, ancient Greek city-states and Rome
• Perspectives on the rank-and-file soldier experience in warfare
• Honour/dishonour and the Other in the context of war
• Wartime commercial opportunities for sub-elites
• Baggage trains and onlookers in wartime
• Reintegration of the soldier into society
• Prejudice and emulation of other ethnic groups
• Evidence of all-female, all-slave, or other sub-elite units in warfare
• Fighting styles of slaves, women and other non-elite groups
• Relations between auxiliary or mercenary forces and Greek or Roman authorities
• Repercussions of warfare for sub-elite groups
• Theoretical and methodological approaches to dealing with the dominant elite male perspective of the ancient sources
• Loyalty, common ethos and other motivators for non-elite combatants

Paper proposals (approximately 300 words) are invited for papers of 30 minutes debating current issues and problems on the conference theme.

Abstracts, titles and your name and affiliation can be sent to Martine De Marre at dmarrmea@unisa.ac.za or dmarrmea@gmail.com.

Deadline for abstracts: 1 July 2020.

We look forward to your submissions and hope to see many of you in October! Please do not hesitate to contact us at the addresses provided above if you have any queries.

Organising committee: Dr Liana Lamprecht; Dr Adrian Ryan; Ms Kajil Kara; Prof Martine De Marre.

Canadian Institute in Greece / Institut canadien en Grèce
Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary
Bourse d’études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter

From / De Gerry Schaus

Professor Frederick Winter, formerly professor of Art History at the University of Toronto, made many contributions to Classical Archaeology, but he will be remembered best for his masterly monographs, Greek Fortifications (1971) and Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), as well as a series of articles in the American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) entitled "Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I – IV." His wife, Joan, was a constant companion in his field research, an assistant in gathering data and an invaluable sounding board for ideas. Between them, Fred and Joan visited an extraordinary number of classical sites, firmly believing in the importance of seeing a location for oneself.

Now, as a permanent support and assistance for Canadian student fieldwork in Greece and the Mediterranean, following in their formidable footsteps, Prof. Winter's family has established the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary through the Canadian Institute in Greece.

The Institute therefore invites applications for the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary to be held during the spring or summer of 2020.

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to travel either in Greece or the wider Mediterranean, for purposes of research in any field of Hellenic studies, ancient to mediaeval.

To apply, write to Dr Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) by 1 March 2020, including a curriculum vitae, an outline of the proposed research and an explanation for the need to travel for this research. Please arrange for two referees familiar with your work to send letters of support for your application to Dr Schaus.

Within three months of the end of the travel period, a brief report must be sent by the bursary recipient to the Chair of the CIG Fellowships Committee describing the work that was accomplished.

In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this bursary, the recipient shall acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Frederick and Joan Winter Student Travel Bursary.

One or more bursaries will be offered each year, amounting to a total of CAD$2,000.

Ancien professeur d'histoire de l'art à l'Université de Toronto, Frederick Winter (1922–2011) a publié de nombreux travaux sur l'archéologie du monde classique. Il est connu surtout pour deux ouvrages, Greek Fortifications (1971) et Studies in Hellenistic Architecture (2006), et pour une série d'articles dans l'American Journal of Archaeology (1976–1982) intitulée « Tradition and Innovation in Doric Design I–IV ». Sa femme, Joan, compagne inséparable durant ses recherches sur le terrain, a joué un rôle crucial autant dans la collecte que l'analyse des données. Fred et Joan ont visité ensemble un grand nombre de sites, jugeant que l'expérience personnelle acquise sur le terrain était indispensable.

Pour soutenir et assister en permanence les études sur le terrain d'étudiants canadiens en Grèce et dans le monde méditerranéen, la famille du professeur Winter a créé la «Bourse d'études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter» avec l'assistance de l'Institut canadien en Grèce (ICG).

L'Institut canadien en Grèce lance un appel à candidatures pour la Bourse d'études et de voyage Frederick et Joan Winter qui sera offerte pour un séjour à l'Institut au printemps ou à l'été 2020.

Les candidats doivent être citoyens canadiens ou immigrants reçus et inscrits dans un programme d’études supérieures ou postdoctorales. Ils doivent aussi démontrer un besoin manifeste de séjourner en Grèce ou ailleurs dans le monde méditerranéen pour mener des recherches sur le monde hellénique, de l'antiquité à l'époque médiévale, dans la discipline de leur choix.

Pour déposer votre dossier de candidature, veuillez contacter le professeur Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) avant le 1er mars 2020. Les dossiers doivent comprendre un curriculum vitae, un plan détaillé du projet d'études en Grèce, et une explication de la nécessité d'effectuer des recherches sur le terrain. Veuillez demander à deux professeurs souhaitant appuyer votre démarche d'envoyer une lettre de soutien au professeur Schaus.

Dans les trois mois qui suivront la fin de la période de recherche, le candidat devra envoyer, au président du comité des bourses de l'ICG, un court rapport décrivant le travail accompli.

Le bénéficiaire aura l'obligation, dans toute publication ultérieure aux travaux de recherche menés sous les auspices de la bourse, de souligner le soutien de l'Institut canadien en Grèce et de la bourse Frederick et Joan Winter pour l'achèvement de ses travaux.

Une ou plusieurs bourses seront offertes chaque année jusqu'à concurrence de 2000 $ CAD (total des bourses).
